(Outpatient)

Doctor.

How's he?

Based on the CT scan, he looks fine.

Don't worry.

That's good to hear.

By the way,

did you check his heart?

I'm worried about his heart condition.

He's been staying up late lately.

I see.

His heart condition is fine.

But staying up late is definitely

not a good habit.

The organs don't get proper rest,

so his immunity will become weaker.

What can I do now?

When will he wake up?

He's having a mild fever now,

so I'm giving him an IV drip

to replenish his hydration.

Don't worry.

Thank you, doctor.

Are you two married?

You should talk to him.

If you two want to have children,

staying up late like this is not good.

Now we have a total of six episodes of the script ready.

The reason I haven't released them yet

is that I wanted to have

a bit more contents in the script

before releasing them all together.

On the one hand, having more contents

also shows our sincerity, right?

And secondly,

with a larger amount of script,

we have more room for discussion, right?

Exactly, I understand.

Just try to understand.

This is the first time this scriptwriter

has received such an important project.

Naturally, there are many things he wants to express.

One word or two words make a big difference for us.

You can trust us on the quality.

It's great.

Yes, right away.

I'll send them to you tonight.

Alright, thank you.

Goodbye.

Where is he?

Who?

Qi Lianshan. Where is he?

I've been calling him all day.

He hasn't answered yet.

Didn't I ask you to go to his place and find him?

Why would I go to his place during the day?

Maybe he's sleeping.

He made an agreement with his neighbor

that he can't disturb her work during the day.

The situation is different now!

Why are you still following that?

I can't rely on you.

I'll go myself!

Okay, okay.

I was wrong.

I'll go to his place.

You have to go, Yuan Yuan.

This is urgent!

Tell him.

Before midnight tonight,

he must send me the script.

Okay?

Fine.

You're always making empty threats.

You only dare to say that to me.

I didn't make empty threats.

Last time, I got him three days extension,

bearing all the pressure alone.

If he doesn't submit it on time again, I'll kill him!

Why are you yelling at me?

I'm not the one who didn't answer your calls.

What's going on with you two?

When he doesn't answer your calls, you blame me.

No.

I...

I don't know where to find him.

Alright, alright.

Hurry and go.

Hurry.

Thank you.

Make sure to bring him back!

Hello?

Uncle.

We're on it.

I promise.

Around midnight.

Definitely before midnight, okay?

I promise you.

The script is really good this time!

Alright, alright.

I'll send it to you when it's ready.

Hello.

Hello.

Is anyone there?

Is anyone there?

Hello, is anyone there?

(The Cat's Sky Castle)

Shanshan!

Shanshan!

No one's home.

What's going on?

Jia Zhen.

Shanshan isn't home.

He's not?

Where's his computer?

Where's the script?

I didn't go in.

I don't know.

(I knocked on the door, but no one answered.)

(His neighbor is probably not home either.)

At this late hour,

where could he be?

Could it be that his neighbor

caused some trouble again

and he went out?

Did something bad happen then?

Don't jinx it.

He's a grown man.

What could happen to him?

He's just avoiding me

because he can't hand in the script.

I've told you

Shanshan is not that kind of person.

Yuan Yuan.

Don't be so naive, okay?

The fact is right in front of us.

He fails to submit the script

(and is missing.)

(People can change.)

Not everyone is like you.

Just come back.

Stop looking for him.

It's already dark outside.

(Be safe.)

Alright, I understand.

(Ward)

(Ward) Let's talk outside.

Don't disturb him from sleeping.

Why is he hospitalized?

His body is weak.

He hasn't slept for days

and fainted at home.

He's just lack of sleep.

But he stays in such a nice ward.

I didn't even stay at such a nice hospital

during my appendix surgery.

I'm jealous.

Why are you comparing this with him?

He stayed up late for the sake of helping Jingyun.

It turned out like this.

I feel guilty too.

My dear.

Is it because of guilty,

or is your heart aching for him?

Why would my heartache?

Why did you come anyway?

To mock me?

Right.

I forgot.

Here's your meal.

Have it while it's hot.

How did you know I'm starving?

I don't have to order takeout then.

You've been taking care of him tirelessly, neglecting your own meals.

Wait a second.

I take care of you,

and you take care of him.

That's not right.

No.

That's right.

You take care of me.

I take care of him.

He takes care of my brother,

and my brother takes care of you.

Isn't this a perfect cycle?

I'm confused.

You eat. I brought it for you.

It'll get cold.

Wait.

Only one family member is allowed to stay overnight in the ward.

You should go back and rest.

You have work tomorrow.

What did you just say?

Family member. Overnight stay.

What family member?

Where is the family member?

Where is the family member?

The family member is right here.

What are you thinking?

Come on.

Please lower your voice.

The patients are resting.

Sorry.

Alright, you should go back now.

Eat it while it's hot.

Thanks.

No need to be so polite.

See you.

Eat.

Okay.

Once this bottle of IV is finished, press the call button by the bedside.

Okay.

This is his medication.

Tomorrow morning,

no matter when he wakes up,

make sure he takes it right away.

Understood.

You can use warm water

to wipe his body

for physical cooling.

Alright, thank you.

(Scriptwriting)

No, no.

You can't write this part like that.

Delete and rewrite the section.

Hurry up.

Boss.

It's been a long time since I wrote a script.

Please spare me.

Don't give me this.

You have a great responsibility for Qi Lianshan quitting the job.

You guaranteed it at the time,

saying he wouldn't delay the script.

What now?

If you don't write, who will?

Fine.

Fine, I'll write it.

I write, but would you dare to use it?

You only nag all day.

Alright.

Pause there.

Change the names.

Change all the character names for me.

Changing the name isn't a good idea.

He minds it the most.

I don't have time to mind him now!

I'm in a hurry to submit the script.

Six episodes.

I have to have something to give them first.

Hurry up!

All the names have to be changed.

I'm telling you.

I'll find time later

to deal with Qi Lianshan!

What names to change?

What should they be called?

Search for it online.

Any name with a score above 85 will do.

Sure.

You're amazing for coming up with this.

This child's case is special.

His parents passed away in a car accident.

He stayed with us for a while.

Later, his uncle adopted him.

But not long after,

his uncle didn't want to continue raising him.

He's a good child,

just a little unfortunate.

No wonder he doesn't like to talk.

Yes.

We want to adopt a child

who is relatively stable.

We can accept his previous situation

and provide him with a relatively stable environment.

However,

he's a bit too old.

I'm worried that

our relationship with him...

As you know,

when children grow up,

they have their own ideas.

Exactly.

That's our biggest concern.

We understand that as well.

We have some children who meet your requirements.

Shall we take a look?

Alright.

- Please come with me. - Okay.

(Resignation Letter)

Don't you want me to stay?

Why don't you even ask me why I quit?

Why?

I was behind

Liu Xia's brick incident.

I know you're investigating it.

Sooner or later, it will lead to me.

Instead of being driven away by you,

I'd rather leave on my own with dignity.

I admit. I was jealous of her.

I just wanted to see her bleed and get hurt.

I wanted her to know

how I feel now.

I can sue you for intentional harm

and report it to the police.

Go ahead.

Let them investigate

who hired people

to cause trouble outside the TV station.

Liu Xia should take a good look at your true colors.

I thought that as long as I wholeheartedly helped you,

one day you would see how good I am.

It was a wishful thinking.

What you can't have is always the best.

Don't think that

you can control everything.

Liu Xia can leave,

and so can I.

Everyone can.

What medicine is he taking?

Why is he taking medicine again?

It's candy.

They are mint-flavored ones in the medicine bottle.

Can't he be normal?

He's been taking medicine since little. He's used to it.

So he asked me to fill the candy in the medicine bottle.

Chairman.

(Awards Liu Xia Received) After he returned from abroad,

he was fine.

But somehow, he suddenly locked himself in the room.

Does Liu Xia know Chenchen before?

From what I know,

during college, Liu Xia interned at Su City Linhai Sanatorium

for a while.

It should be during her time at the sanatorium.

No wonder.

We found him so many psychologists,

but he's only interested in Liu Xia.

Why doesn't he go and meet her in person?

He said he's not ready yet.

I don't know what he's preparing.

Spend more time talking to him.

Don't let him stay alone in the room all the time.

Even normal people can get sick from being cooped up.

By the way, Chairman,

Liu Xia recently recorded a program at Su City TV Station.

He wants to become a sponsor for the program.

A sponsor?

Yes.

I understand.

Let me think about it.

You may dismiss.

Mr. Jia.

Send me the script for the rest of the episodes as soon as possible.

I'll try to finalize the contract with the film production company

within a week.

(Once the contract is finalized,)

(the project will be more stable.)

Okay, Mr. Cao.

Rest assured.

Our team is currently working overtime

to rush the script

while ensuring quality.

Within two days,

I'll definitely send you the script.

(I have trust in your team's ability.)

Alright then,

send it to me as soon as possible,

so I can arrange the payment.

Sure, no problem.

(I'll wait for your good news then.)

Alright.

Cool.

Mr. Cao, goodbye.

You never consider Shanshan's actual situation

before making such rigid statements.

Can the script be changed?

Even if it can, what about the quality?

You have no idea,

yet you made promises!

Yuan Yuan.

You're funny.

Ever since we moved to this studio,

you've been mentioning money frequently.

Now I'm trying to find ways to make money

through royalties.

I know about royalties.

Alright, alright.

Let's drop this.

Here's what you'll do.

Figure out the accounting stuff,

and don't worry about anything else.

I'll come up with a solution.

This show

is very relatable to life.

The guests are all ordinary people,

so the audience can resonate with them.

But suddenly, it's been halted.

Everyone is a bit upset.

The preview for the episode with the psychological counselor

has already been aired.

The response was really good.

It's also generating a lot of buzz online.

Why not seize the opportunity?

The public is very curious about the psychology counseling industry.

We should let more people understand this profession.

The pace of life nowadays is fast,

and many overlook their own psychological issues.

This is also a form of charity, isn't it?

Are you trying to hypnotize me?

No, I'm not.

I'm just lighting a candle

to help you relax a bit.

That's great then.

After getting married,

I noticed that she became more irritable.

Do you suppose one

could experience early menopause?

How old is she?

Does menopause happen in the early 30s?

Usually, that's unlikely.

It seems that I have some psychological issues then?

Usually, in cases like this involving family members,

the treatment would focus on changing the dynamics between you two.

Miss Liu.

After talking with you,

I feel much better.

You're right.

The growth of a child is irreversible.

I've missed out on witnessing her growth,

and yet I long for a closer bond with her.

But when she faces challenges,

if I'm not there for her in time,

how can I make demands of her?

Acknowledging your problems is the first step.

You should know what to do next.

Don't rush yourself.

Give yourself some time,

and give your child some time too.

Right.

There's one more thing.

Mr. Wu.

You can tell me anything.

About the show, hadn't Director Lian informed you?

What about it?

The thing is

the sponsors are withdrawing their funding.

We may have to pause the show for a while.

I'm really sorry about this.

It's the decision of my superior.

I can't do anything.

But today, experiencing psychological counseling

is indeed something that benefits the public.

I hope this show can continue.

When I go back, I'll try to talk to my superior,

and also contact the previous sponsors.

I'll see whether we can keep the show going.

Thank you, Mr. Wu.

Since you're my psychological counselor now,

I must make things happen for you.

Otherwise, you can't treat me with ease.

A deal is a deal.

There's a distinction between the show and the counseling.

I'll definitely provide you with good counseling.

Okay.

Miss Liu, thank you.

You're welcome.

Next time, just come at the scheduled time.

Alright.

I'll see you around.

Okay.

I'll see you off.

Sure.

What's going on?

What's wrong, Jing?

Is he crazy?

What did Wu say?

Don't touch me!

What are you looking at?

Never seen someone resigning?

Let me give you some advice.

Work hard while you're young.

Don't wait till you're old and can't work anymore,

just like me, packing up and leaving.

Jing, we're colleagues.

No one is targeting you.

Don't speak so harshly.

You wouldn't want our superiors to hear it.

Right.

Your attitude of pretending to be innocent is very good.

Keep it up.

Lian Jingyun, stop being so harsh!

- Bro! - Bro!

Make way, make way!

Lian Jingyun!

Who do you think you are?

Don't pull me!

Who do you think you are?

Enough.

Seriously.

- Enough, enough. - How dare you!

- You're the one who achieves nothing! - Shut up.

(Su City TV Station) Let go!

What's wrong?

Why are you acting crazy?

Did you hear what you just said?

You really want to get yourself fired?

(Su City TV Station) Of course.

I don't want to stay here anymore!

You hypocrites!

You think I'm easy to bully?

Will you keep your voice down?

Look at you. I should have just left you there!

I didn't ask you to step in.

In fact, since I'm down,

I bet you want to kick me now.

What are you talking about?

If I really do,

you're in deep trouble now!

Really?

Come on.

Stop it!

I'm right?

You're actually the one who wants me to get lost the most,

so stop pretending

like it's not.

Right.

Right.

You're right.

I'm the one who wants you to quit.

When I heard that you want to quit,

I was so happy that

I couldn't sleep all night.

Is that so?

Yes.

I've been waiting since early this morning,

hoping to see what a mess you become!

See it now?

Happy?

I'm seeing now.

But you seem a little pitiful.

You see, a man of your age

is pretty desirable

if he has a good career.

If his career is unstable,

he'll have nothing in this lifetime.

Is that so?

Calm down.

If you're having a breakdown, you should see Liu Xia for help.

Job doesn't matter.

The most important thing is to take care of your health.

Here's my advice.

Don't pay too much attention to what others say about you.

You should take good care of your health.

Right.

Look at you.

You have a great career.

How many years have you been on that finance channel?

Have you achieved anything remarkable?

Even fresh graduates have become hosts.

Lian Jingyun!

Don't you know why?

You know, of course!

Mr. Wu, we're talking about work.

Come to my office.

You wish.

Go.

I've resigned.

I'm not going.

Nonsense.

You'd better go now.

You are insane.

Don't touch me.

Didn't you see my resignation letter?

(Su City TV Station) I quit!

Stop acting all broken and defeated.

I didn't approve your resignation letter.

What?

You can't bear to see me quit?

I don't have time for this.

There's a big sponsor coming soon,

so get yourself together!

What does that have to do with me?

Mr. Wu.

The people from Binhai Group are here.

This way, please.

How are you doing?

I'm Wu Yunshen, director of the production department.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Wu.

Likewise.

He's the initiator of the show.

Lian Jingyun, a producer and director.

My pleasure.

He's a veteran in our station.

There are no shows of this genre in our country currently.

Once it's aired, it'll definitely catch the attention.

(Encounters on the Road)

The details are all in the contract.

We came here to sign the contract with you.

After you review it,

if there's anything, you can make direct modifications.

No need for discussion.

We'll agree on everything.

But there's one condition

clearly stated in the contract.

There can be no replacement for Liu Xia, the psychological counselor.

Otherwise, we, as the investor, can terminate the contract at any time.

Rest assured about this.

We'll never replace her even if I get fired.

Alright then.

I'll have our legal department coordinate with you right away.

Great, I brought our company's lawyer

and the company seals with me.

We can sign the contract anytime.

We'll wait here.

Sure, please have a seat first.

Okay.

(Posters for TV shows)

Wu, what's going on?

You surprise me!

I was going to ask you the same.

Did Liu Xia find this investor?

It can't be.

If she had such power, she wouldn't have gotten criticized.

Who cares who found the investor.

Let me check the contract first.

By the way,

tell Liu Xia to come.

Why? What for?

To meet the investor.

There's controversy about her online.

I need to inform our superiors first.

Right!

I'll call her now.

Hurry.

Where am I?

You're awake.

How did I end up here?

You fainted at home yesterday.

I brought you to the hospital.

Where's my phone?

I didn't bring it.

It should be at home.

What time is it now?

It's 3:02 p.m.

What's wrong?

Where are my shoes?

I need to go back quickly.

Why are you in such a hurry?

The doctor said

you fainted because of exhaustion

so you must rest well in the hospital.

I'm fine.

If you faint again after going back,

what shall I do?

If I don't go back and submit the script,

I'll be in deep trouble.

At least take your medication first!

There's no time.

Hey.

Where are you going?

Qi Lianshan, take your medication!

Here, give it to me.

How many should I take?

Take two.

See you!

Hey, brother.

(Hey, Xia.)

(Where are you?)

I'm at the hospital. What's up?

Hospital?

Are you not feeling well?

It's not me.

It's a friend.

What's the matter?

You scared me for a moment.

Okay.

In that case,

wait for me at the hospital.

I'll come and pick you up.

Cool.

Shanshan!

Where were you?

Why did you just come back?

Where's Jia Zhen? Has he met with the client yet?

He's waiting for your scripts.

What's going on with you?

Hey, don't ignore my questions!

I finished it yesterday afternoon

and was planning to read it a couple more times

(Pursuit scripts) to check for any spelling mistakes.

But I was so exhausted...

Never mind.

(Send) Never mind.

(Sending Pursuit scripts to Jia Zhen)

I finally submitted the scripts!

Take a seat

and rest for a bit.

(Qi Lianshan)

(Pursuit scripts for episodes 7-15)

(Revised Draft of Pursuit Episode 1)

Mr. Qin.

The scripts are ready.

Now, I...

Mr. Qin.

We're almost done with the scripts.

But there are some minor stuff

that I want to go over again.

Overall, it's fine.

But there's this thing.

I have some thoughts that I'd like to share with Mr. Cao in person.

If possible, do you think you can schedule a meeting with Mr. Cao for me?

This matter is quite important.

So, I must meet with Mr. Cao in person.

Please arrange the meeting for me.

Thank you, Mr. Qin.

I'll wait for your reply.

(Alright.)

(No problem.)

Great!

Is the time now okay?

I can come over.

How are you feeling now?

Me?

I'm feeling just fine.

I was just too tired yesterday,

so I fell asleep right here.

My neighbor thought something was wrong,

so she called an ambulance for me.

She did it out of concern.

How can you be fine? Even the ambulance came.

What did the doctor say?

I'm really fine.

The doctor said I was probably just exhausted.

They added a bit of sleeping aid to my IV drip.

If not, how could I have slept

for such a long time?

Shanshan, listen.

Other than good health,

nothing else matters.

Right.

I'll ask Jia Zhen how it's going.

Hey, brother.

How did you like the scripts?

(I read them. Two episodes.)

Really?

It's less than a minute,

and you've read two episodes?

How was it?

(What do you think?)

Wait.

Did you not read them?

You definitely didn't read them!

(No, just tell me directly.)

(How are the scripts?)

Anyway, I think this is

the best version I've ever written.

(I'll send them to the client right away then!)

Do it.

No problem.

Just send them!

Trust me.

(Don't get too proud even though the scripts are good!)

I won't.

Okay.

Talk to you later.

Yuan Yuan, why don't you take a look at my scripts too?

Even though they are average,

I think I did a good job.

I sent them. Take a look.

Go ahead.

Take care of yourself.

I'm leaving now.

Take a look first,

and tell me how is it.

Do I score a 90,

or maybe a 99?

Or even a perfect 100.

I came out to find you in a rush.

I left my phone.

I'm leaving.

I see.

Now that the scripts are submitted, what should I do?

I shall find something to do.
